on neuroscience, and my great race to become a supergeek

i'm afraid i've become rather obsessed with neuro stuff. most around me know that i've been wanting to go into medicine for some time now, but perhaps not that i've really started focusing on this subject area. basically we are talking about the brain (primarily), spinal cord, and peripheral nervous system (all the little guys around your body, like the one i sliced while piting an avocado {mom}). i've since devoloped a healthy fear of said overpriced fruit (no, i'm not kidding, it's actually considered a berrry {what i learned in botany}. back to the point. i'm really thinking of the possibility of going the phd teaching/research route instead of the md route. of course first things first is finishing my undergrad work in beautiful colorado (always the dreamer, i know, but don't plan on changing anytime soon. until the great world of coloradu university library opens up i'm rather confined to the boulder public library and its ever rare neuro works. enough to keep me busy however.
